SHE'S JUST A GIRL WHO CAN'T SAY NO TO WOODY

There was a time when Diane Keaton was gloriously front and center in nearly every Woody Allen comedy or drama. A bit later, the same was true of Mia Farrow. Now the working-with-Woody thing is getting to be a habit with Scarlett Johansson, whose star turns in his British-lensed “Match Point” and “Scoop” will be followed by this maybe comedy/maybe drama which, naturally, does not yet have a title or a story-line that we can talk about.

What we do know is that the Spanish-set story will be shot in Barcelona and Asturias, and that Woody has had the good sense to team Scarlett with a pair of Pedro Almodovar’s finest players--Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem.
